[Jacob-list] First Aid Suggestions/opinions please

[Katherine Wisor]

OK , Betadine (provadine Iodine) #1 item , buy even at the dollar  
store,, At tractor supply get some vetrap by 3M. about $3 in many  
colors , self clinging wrap( Invaluable on wiggling critters) , Non  
sterile or sterile 4x4 , (any medical supply , dollar store or big  
lots) Scissors,  Make your saline ( boil 1 qt of H2o with 1 tsp  
salt .  store in clean jar) Antibiotic >  amoxicillin oral/IM , LA200 
( sub-q/IM) Save any antibiotic you don't use , Buy a Merck manual  
for vet med info if you can ( about $50, but has everything)   
Neosporin ( again the dollar store) won't hurt the animals to ingest.  
MOM /olive oil for bloat. Plastic Tubing/ syringes / needles .    It  
may take years but you'll learn to make thing work for you. As you  
know ,  I make and always keep Colloidal Silver .  You can't even  
imagine what it fixes in humans and animals .  If your kids need  
suturing in the Hospital ask the nurse for the instruments (they just  
throw them away, a kind nurse will help a farmer!  PS NEVER toss out  
out dated medication.  Kept under cool dark circumstances even the  
Observer documented some things are good for over 25 YEARS !  Drug  
companys want you to discard to keep the funds coming in.   If a med.  
changes color, smells odd. then I discard. Read how it should be and  
go from there .  Good Luck >Katherine
